In the present study an attempt has been made on physico-chemical characteristics of Mahil pond, located in Orai in Jalaun district of Uttar Pradesh. The study was carried out for a period of one year i.e. July 2009 to June 2010. Monthly details have been collected and were represented seasonally along with standard deviation. Different parameters were taken in the study were Rainfall, Cloud cover, Humidity, Atmospheric and water temperature, Secchi Transparency, pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved solids, Dissolved oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total alkalinity, Bicarbonate Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Calcium Hardness, Chloride, Nitrate-Nitrogen and Phosphate, The results of the present study indicated that the water of the pond lies just below the level of eutrophication.
Key words: Mahil freshwater pond, physico-chemical characters, eutrophication
